This may come back to bite Ardern – when asked about Labour’s backwards workplace relations policy (1st Leader’s debate), Stuff: “Questioned directly by moderator Mike Hosking (who was exacting on both, in his rat-a-tat, pop-economist kind-of way) whether New Zealand could be in for national strikes, Ardern had her most emphatic moment: “No. We. Will. Not.”

“”It’s not going to happen on my watch.”

The left always eat their own – the 1969 NZ election was lost for Labour largely due to a seaman strike during the election campaign. Wait for national strikes by the unions to eventually prove Ardern to be a liar.

There’s truth in that. I wouldn’t call voters’ worlds cloistered, more likely true of dwellers in compounds & gated communities maybe. But disrupting huge numbers of voters’ comfortable worlds & day to day lives, work, & business is a risky strategy in this day & age.

I agree with you, Corky. We are no longer used to national strikes and having our lives disrupted in this way, and are unlikely to take kindly to this great leap backwards.

It can’t have been every school holiday that was the signal for a strike, but it certainly seemed to be. I’d be interested to know what it’s like in the UK, where their equivalent union used to strike during the holidays and leave people stranded on either side of the Channel.
